Whoops, he’d pushed it too far, and this time he hadn’t even meant to. Well. Mostly. Nathair was testing boundaries that was how you figured people out, and figuring out people was how you stayed safe and got what you needed.

“Thank you. It is.” She stepped back, baring her teeth in a plastered smile. Then shifted to an order, maybe to fluster…[Read more]

BURN

WHAT IS THIS SCALY THING THAT BROKE ME?!

Okay. It broke the prison too. And that’s a good thing but still.

What. Is. It?

Eventually, I stop rolling – Rolling. Through. Glass. Punk. It. Sucks. – and came to a stop.

Problems remaining: still don’t know wh…[Read more]

“Here.” The girl moved forward, getting herself cut in the process, and then she took his arm. Nathair watched her a little like a wary animal, not used to being touched. But she kept her word and gently plied the glass out of his skin. Tears were starting to well in her eyes as she worked.

“I am Leana daughter of Nithel.” She said, and added w…[Read more]

Ugh, everything hurt. It hurts. Where’s Alessio? What is this place? Owowowowowowowowow, Arsene was in pain. Please let something happen that would make him turn humanoid again.

He was wet. He hated being wet, why was he wet?

Ow… Just let him sleep… he was tired… he hurt everywhere…

Before Sherlock could rip that fake to pieces, he…[Read more]

The girl smiled tiredly at Nathair, looking at him with a sort of confidence that almost made him uneasy. Complete trust? Not even Alessio had looked at him that way, even at his most trusting, that was just stupid.

“I…meant your cuts? I don’t know anything about this place-“

“Ah. Well. That would be nice too.” He said with an ironic smile, fumb…[Read more]

BURN

Okay.

So.

I can scream for help.

I can break the glass. (haha, yeah. Sure. Just magic up some super-strength like Drake. Right.)

Or … will the switch flip again?

Nope. It’s stuck. Perfect.

Anyway that alarm is off.

I’m just gonna … keep ignoring the glowing hearts on my arm. Why not?

I mean, ya’know punk. Why wouldn’t…[Read more]

Nathair coughed, in a bloody heap by the broken cage, but thankfully that obnoxious ringing died out. He would’ve had it just fine but for some reason his powers hadn’t worked. Drugged? Sure that would explain an ability damp but there weren’t effective stops for ghouls and besides that he was a wizard.

He hadn’t felt this helplessness since t…[Read more]

Nathair blinks as the foxfire snaps up. Slowly the buttons melt. Well. Something happened. He knew waiting was a great idea!

Liquid blue pools on the floor around him. And suddenly something splashes in front of him. Uh, ok, invisible walls. That’s nice…

As everything trembles, Nathair tries smacking the invisible wall just to see if it’ll give…[Read more]

[You do nothing, save crossing your arms and smirking at the blinking, glowing buttons. For you are stubborn.]

“How…long might the trip be, in that case?” Ohel asked, so blithely optimistic.

I’m not sure you understood the ‘not within any traveling distance’ part of ‘not with any traveling distance’…

“He means we’re all stuck.” Arsene chirped, so helpfully. And Alessio glanced at him anticipating the theatrical version of their adventures, but instead…[Read more]

She didn’t look comfortable with Ohel. Why did he even say he could be a part of the group? Nobody even wanted him to be. Alessio should’ve asked them first, or made a better decision. Why was he even making that decision in the first place, who was supposed to be the leader of this group?

Leana glanced up at him, but not reproachfully. She tru…[Read more]

Ohel nodded, still wary. He was looking at Leana and then him as if… Oh not you too!! Seriously everyone, everyone assumed they were a couple!?! It was one thing for Arsene to have to tease him mercilessly that was his job, but he wasn’t really giving that impression, was he??

She was just a really cool person that’s all!!

“I can be willing…[Read more]

Alessio relaxed slightly when Leana nodded.

“It just startled me.” She said softly.

“That’s ok, you were alert,” He said gently, trying to do that “reassurance” thing Nithel was really good at… Not to mention Alessio would’ve been on even more pins and needles if he didn’t know she’d make a noise if there was any trouble.

“My name…[Read more]

Wait, Nithel had said Leana was about Alessio’s age, but Nithel was a couple thousand years old before he became human and he didn’t have Alessio’s exact age he’d just been estimating so was Leana actually seventeen or eighteen or was “about your age?” actually like a couple hundred years old because she’d turn out to be some fantastical r…[Read more]

“Who said anything about being half human?” Arsene returned with his usual annoying smile. “As I said before, my father was a woodland elf, who left his country, and my mother was a lone dragon. I have no human heritage.”

Alessio blinked slowly, his eyes getting wider even while he was trying to maintain a neutral expression. Vaguely he remembe…[Read more]

@kimlikesart

Sure, feel free to drop another character in. I’m sure Arsene would love someone else he could annoy.

I feel like if you were to drop another character in, it would be best to chose Alessio’s group, because they’re having the human/non-human talk. Plus, if you drop a character in the other group, you’ll be in the middle of a…[Read more]

“Sherlock’s the same age as me, but I was born first.” Arsene said with the definite satisfaction of someone who bested his brother in something stupid. “I’m sure I’ve mentioned this at least once, but I’m not human. I’m a dragon hybrid. Hence, I’m not obligated to follow the basic aging process.”

No, you never mentioned that before!?!

Ale…[Read more]

John frowned at him for several seconds (even with the mask his perpetual disgruntlement was almost audible).

“How old do you think I am?” He asked in a tone that made Alessio feel like anything he said next was going to sound stupid. Nevermind, forget that. Everyone here wasn’t his enemy, he was supposed to be trying this ‘nice’ thing to ‘make…[Read more]

Alessio fidgeted awkwardly, glancing at everything in the store. He stretched his hands, closing and unclosing trying not to touch anything. It was too good to be true and he didn’t know the drawbacks. Maybe, maybe “Amnesia” decided to give them resources to make their struggles later more entertaining. But he didn’t want to depend on anythin…[Read more]

“If you like her, you should really buy her flowers.” Arsene said a-matter-of-factly and Alessio stared up at him blankly. It should be noted in his culture flowers have no romantic connotations – they use gemstones with romantic meanings instead. There were some cultures that used flowers, but Alessio was willfully ignoring that.

“I – What? No!…[Read more]
